What Is Hygge? How To Instil Hygge Into Your Home Lifestyle

Making your home as comfortable as possible is crucial to help you unwind after a long day at work. Hygge is a term derived from Danish and Norwegian and describes a mood of contentment and wellness.

Here at Dusk Lighting, we give you some lighting ideas on how to achieve hygge in your home.

What is hygge?

Pronounced ‘hue-gah’, this buzzword was devised by the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen to describe the feeling of ultimate happiness.

Hygge can be sitting by an open fire with a loved one, enjoying a glass of wine with snow falling outside, reading a great book with a bar of your favourite chocolate on a Sunday afternoon, or simply devouring a delicious meal you’ve made from scratch.

It is accomplishment and contentment. Our surroundings also play a big part in whether we are experiencing ultimate hygge, which has resulted in the concept evolving into an influence in contemporary home interior trends. By choosing items and accessories for your home which create the perfect ambience and atmosphere, you can experience the hygge life.

How to hygge your home

Now you know what hygge is; you should know some ways on how to transform your home to create a hygge feel. Dusk Lighting has several lighting options for all rooms to create hygge lighting.

Lounge lighting

A great place to start making your home hygge-friendly is the lounge. Our lounge lighting range allows you to explore dimmable light options for a soft, welcoming glow, as well as table lamps and wall lights. Illuminate your favourite framed artwork or photographs with our range of wall-mounted spotlights, or opt for the decorative look with wall lights in brushed aluminium or matt brushed copper from Dar Lighting.

Visually pleasing interiors can also evoke happiness and contentment in our home life.
